Addison is 11 months

My sweet little Addie is getting so big!! She weighs in at 17.5 lbs.  Just in the last week she has started to be much more independent and army crawling has officially begun.   Addie is also pulling herself up.  This was a scary find for me because I have not lowered her crib and after her nap the other day I go in to find her standing and bouncing with much glee .  I almost had a heart attack because she totally could have fallen out!! Out of the mouth of Mr. Jace Addie is a little stinker.  Addie has us all wrapped around her little fingers and I wouldn't change it for a thing.  Addie has a love for real food she eats almost anything.  I am grateful but for some reason when we started her on food her tummy and bowl started to have issues.  Let's just say she is having a hard time going #2.  The doctor had us do a little rectal procedure with x-ray and everything looks good structurally but still this girl has no #2 and when she does it results in tears so we are hoping to find her some relief so far everything we have tried has not seemed to help.  As always Addie is a pretty happy girl.  She loves to snuggle and for some odd reason loves her momma I can't seem to understand why?? Hmm oh yes maybe its because I still come to her aide 5 or more times a night to love on my little snuggle bug.  I love this little girl and all she has already taught me in her 11 months of life.  What a blessing it is to be a mother. XOXO

Halloween Weekend

This year for Halloween we ventured up to Utah for a family filled event. Jace dressed as Captain America and has been protecting us from bad guys since the day we bought the costume.  Addison was a little pink Zebra.  The best part of the costume was the tail it was so stinking cute. Granny dressed up as a witch and  made a great witches brew "chili and scones for dinner".  Addie ate the chili which amazes me because Jace looked at it and said yuck even though grandpa bought donuts to eat with it!! Jace didn't even eat the donut ! Dan and I dressed up as firefighters and took the kids trick or treating in granny's neighborhood.  We made it half way around the block and Jace stated he was done.  I think he was missing his friend Cooper and maybe feeling out of sorts since we were not in our neighborhood.  Jace was so cute while he was knocking on the doors though.  I must say this kid has a sense of humor.  First he would knock on the door and practically walk in when people opened the door to give candy.  Then he started to say trick or treat smell my feet!! The best thing he said at every door he went to was trick or treating  instead of trick or treat.  We finished the evening with a good scary movie and dipped in to the candy bag shhhh don't tell! That is why I became a parent to dig thru all the Halloween candy and "make sure it is safe" and well of course safe a few of my favorites while in the process.  Happy Halloween!!
